naturalwestmichigan.com/the-perils-of-plastic-clothing"Most clothes made today contain plastic. The non-biodegradable polymer is a major component of elastic waistbands and nylon sneakers. But by far, the largest fossil-fuel culprit is polyester, commonly used in shirts, pants, hoodies, dresses, jackets, underwear, socks, blankets and hats, according to Sewport, an online marketplace serving the garment industry...." My notes: I was never for this. The plastics can become micro-plastics.

Sadly I feel like we have progressed too far down the plastic route and now just have to wait and see the health effects. I never got too behind plastic clothing being a direct health effect as there isn't much supporting it passing through the skin, but the manufacturing and waste are a whole different issues.

Here too microplastics clothes are available, but I use only Cotton clothes and still the stichers attach something to it as great clothes.
